    I might think about treating myself somewhere, I'm totally sick of where I live.

  • My first and last experience of staying in a Travelodge has been terrible and to be honest at the Birmingham Central Travelodge I wouldnt go again if you paid me. £9 is only a bargain if it is a pleasant experience to stay there.

    On arrival the manager insisted that I hadn't paid upon booking even though I had a print out of the email confirmation of my payment. He tried to get me to pay again and wouldnt accept anything I said and then get changing his story as to what my receipt was for. Then he said he wasnt asking me to pay again but wanted my credit card to charge us £10 extra for having my partners guide dog with us. My partner is registered blind. I said they couldnt do this as it was discrimination against people with disabilities and the dog wasnt a pet, but a working guide dog. He had no knowledge of assistance dogs and insisted on the £10 additional charge. I asked to see their disability policy, and they said they didnt have one but showed me a book where they record details of all people with disabilities who stay in their hotel. I told them they were breaking the law by charging additional fees for assistance dogs but they didnt care. At this point a fellow guest backed us up and finally they checked us in without any extra charges. They said they had never heard of guide dogs being allowed free into hotels. The manager sad he had been working there for 3 years and had never heard that he wasnt allowed to charge people with disabilities for assistance dogs - therefore he has been illegally charging people with disabilities extra in this way for 3 years !

    We went up to our room but the hotel was so horrible, oppressive, shabby, paint flaking off the walls, dented walls and metal work on the lift - we immediately checked out again and will be reporting this hotel to the disability rights commission for breaking the disability discrimination act.

    If you have a disability don't stay here.
    If you expect a decent standard of accommodation dont stay here
    If you expect to be treated with respect dont stay here
    If you want anything of better quality than a bad attitude doss house - dont stay here.

    Very distressing for lisap4123. I am not dissabled so cannot comment on that, but I have never had a bad room or been treated like that.
